Served in 1 Wireless, later 13th Signal Regiment from November 1957 to January 1961. I was an operator in the Cipher Office. (WO2 Terry O'Toole and Major McD Glass) Detached to 101 Wireless Troop Langeleben during 1958 (SSM Williams and our driver was Gordon Banks, who married a girl from Konigslutter and left early to play football as a fairly good goalkeeper !! I knew the webmaster Fred Searle. Jack Wilderspin was the RSM. I used to spend a lot of time in the training room up in the ops block during night shifts, using the AR88 and Eddystone 880A. When I went on my Yeoman's course some years later, I passed my morse in the first week at 25 wpm and saved over 200 periods of instruction time! Night shifts in the OPs Block !! Left in 1961 and completed 29 years in the Corps in 1984 as a Major (Traffic Officer) but never served again with anyone from the Y service days.

I was stationed at 13th Signal Regt from 1975 until 1978 as an STG I was a young and impressionable soldier but had the privalige to work alongside some very carismatic and professional collegues. I have browsed through the "as they are now" pictures and was delighted to see that Ted Haslem is a member of your association. He was a mojor influence during my posting to the regiment. Thanks for bringing back some excellant memories.

I never served with 13 SR, being the other sort of EWOp, but I do recognise a number of names and faces from 9 SR and, before that, Garats Hay. I have just lost over an hour in misty-eyed nostalgia and find it hard to accept that it was all three decades ago. If anyone remembers, get in touch - especially 'Butch' McCarthy, if you're out there...

I have just spent an hour looking at the the new old photographs in the albums, they are brilliant please everyone look at them and if you have any more please send them to Fred so they can be published. It is incredible to think that General Peter was in Korea when I was 3 year old and I thought I was old. Anyone not booked for the reunion hurry up and book and start saving for your raffle tickets Regards to all Keith

Found your page whilst browsing and it has brought back many fond memories of 13 Sigs. Served in A troop from Jan 1970 - Aug 1972.(including a tour of NI - Lisnaskea) Roge Phipps: Nibs Jarvie: Johnny Weightman: Tony Buttery and many, many more names come to mind...happy times spent in Maters, Jon & Ans. All a bit of a blur at the time. Re- badged to Postal & Courier in 1973 and finished as WO2 after Cooks Tour. Always remember my time at Birgelen as the happiest of my service. Best wishes to all of you.

Contrary to you expectations here I am Vic replying. Not sure what part I played in the incident referred to as it was too long ago to worry about.With regard to SSGT Wilson, I have no idea either.Alec Morrison was as you say a great guy and in my opinion a good goalkeeper.
